I Am Very Sad Today
Something very strange happened this morning and my master is very upset about it. He has acted very funny all day. Yes, if you have not noticed my dog paw print on the paper, I am Voertsek - the Jack Russell.This morning when we woke up Fluffy, the Maltese Poodle, did not want to wake up so Bruno and I went to sit in the sun without her. When my master came out to feed us, he looked for Fluffy with us but as I said earlier; she was still asleep. He called her but she still did not wake up. He went to her kennel and looked very upset when he stood up again. It started a very strange chain of events. He gave our food but did not take Fluffy with him into the house to feed her as he normally does.
Instead he came out with a big black bin liner and he put Fluffy in there. I have never seen him doing a thing like that. Then he opened the tool shed and took out a spade. I know he uses that when he wants to make holes in the ground. When we were finished eating, he locked us up in the tool shed. This was very strange for he only does that when he has visitors with small children.
He let us out again a bit later when he came to put the spade away. He still had the bin liner in his hand but Fluffy was no longer in there. He had Fluffy’s collar in his other hand.
Before he went back into the house he took her blanket out of her kennel, put it in the empty bin liner and dumped it all into the dustbin. Very strange indeed. I found the place where he dug the hole quickly but he has placed a lot of bricks on the spot and when I tried to smell what was there my nose started burning and I sneezed.
When he came out later he sprinkled some more stuff where the hole was and then he played with us. He looked very sad and gave us much more attention than normally. He said that Fluffy was dead. I don’t know what that means but I think Fluffy has gone away and is not coming back. I remember when he said that about his previous cat, it never came back again but that was good riddance.
I will miss Fluffy; even though she growled at me when I wanted to play with her. She was very old and did not like playing.
Have a doggone good day.
This is just tribute to a departed friend. my regular blog will follow later.

Keep your chin up my friend!
Raining there? We had rain for most of last week but it has been warm and sunny here this week.
Don't worry. It will be a good weekend.
Fluffy was a mixed breed Maltese Poodle. They are fluffy white dogs about just below knee height.
Thank you mate. I should have had her put down a long time ago but I did not have the heart to do it.
Remember when I told you yesterday that she did not want to eat? I should have known then.
Thank you. But it came as a relieve to her. She was almost completely blind and suffered badly from arthritis.
I think I was a bit selfish not to have taken her out.
thank you. Time can fly so fast. She was a millennium pup and now it is 2014. Feels like yesterday when I got her.
I must tell you that it came as a relieve to me as well. She really suffered lately.
Rainbow Bridge
Just this side of heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge...
When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here, that pet goes to Rainbow Bridge.
There are meadows and hills for all your special friends so they can run and play together.
There is plenty of food, water and sunshine, and our friends are warm and comfortable.
All the animals who had been ill and old are restored to health and vigor. Those who were hurt or maimed are made whole and strong again, just as we remember them in our dreams of days and times go by. The animals are happy and content, except for one small thing:
they each miss someone very special to them, who had to be left behind.
They all run and play together, but day comes when one suddenly stops and looks into the distance.
His bright eyes are intent. His eager body quivers.
Suddenly he begins to run from the group, flying over the green grass, his legs carrying him faster and faster.
You have been spotted, and when you and your special friend finally meet, you cling together in joyous reunion. never to be parted again.
The happy kisses rain over your face: your hands again caress the beloved head, and you look more into the trusting eyes of your pet, so long gone from your life but never absent from your heart.
Then you cross Rainbow Bridge together...

With friendly love from Welela.
Most of what I write contain a large element of truth. I merely wrap the truth in a fictitious draping. It softens the truth somehow.
Fluffy was one of the few pavement specials - mongrels - that I ever possessed but as a dog she gave me as much joy as any of my thoroughbreds. She had the heart of a lion.
A beautiful story.
It is a comfort to have friends.
Sorry for your loss
Thank you. It was expected for a long time but it still saddens you when it happens. I should have put her out of her misery a long time ago but could not get myself as far, Selfish!
Always sad even when awaited.
Thank you. She is better off where she is now. She was almost completely blind and suffered badly from arthritis.
First time I see you on my blog. Welcome and thank you very much. She was a stray puppy that somebody dumped in the bush and she managed to make it the 100 meters to my house. I don't normally keep mixed breeds but by the time I discovered that she belonged to nobody in the neighborhood she had adopted me.
